[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5578044, member: 13434"] How did we have such a great hatch this past season with no two week delay? The same way we always have and will in the future. Weather , predators and habitat determine nesting success. Nothing wrong at all with our past opening dates . No problem at all with the two bird limit , moving our season was unnecessary in my opinion only , as I could be wrong ( will not be first time). I wish they had at least compromised and went with the commissioners original request at the meeting to just move it back 1 week( I think most would have been fine with that). I do not use decoys or a fan at all and you will not kill a boss Tom in the early season using just a call unless you are really lucky or just that good , he is not leaving the real deal. I do have a question for those that believe the dominant gobbler theory. If we wait on season so " the hens can be bred" why do we need a two bird limit? The Gobblers work has been done according to the theory. Why not just leave it at 3? Again I want to stress I have no problem with the limit but just a question. Also only a small percentage I believe around 10 percent or less killed 3 birds anyway, with most people killing just 1. Remember we have actually went from 5 birds to 2, we used to be allowed a bonus bird on quota hunts. Just a thought that I have wondered about. [/QUOTE]
